With an Introduction by Peter Dunwoodie; translated by Matthew Ward.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBehind the subterfuge, Camus explores what he termed \"the nakedness of man faced with the absurd\" and describes the condition of reckless alienation and spiritual exhaustion that characterized so much of twentieth-century life. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“The Stranger is a strikingly modern text and Matthew Ward’s translation will enable readers to appreciate why Camus’s stoical anti-hero and ­devious narrator remains one of the key expressions of a postwar Western malaise, and one of the cleverest exponents of a literature of ambiguity.” –from the Introduction by Peter Dunwoodie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFirst published in 1946; now in translation by Matthew Ward.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlbert Camus (French: [albɛʁ kamy]; 7 November 1913 - 4 January 1960) was a French philosopher, author, and journalist. His views contributed to the rise of the philosophy known as absurdism. He wrote in his essay The Rebel that his whole life was devoted to opposing the philosophy of nihilism while still delving deeply into individual freedom. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCamus did not consider himself to be an existentialist despite usually being classified as one, even in his lifetime. In a 1945 interview, Camus rejected any ideological associations: \"\"No, I am not an existentialist. Sartre and I are always surprised to see our names linked...\"\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCamus was born in Algeria to a Pied-Noir family, and studied at the University of Algiers from which he graduated in 1936. In 1949, Camus founded the Group for International Liaisons to \"\"denounce two ideologies found in both the USSR and the USA\"\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBio from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
